what performance mods do you guys have? and how fast have you gone or what have you dyno'd...ive about hit a wall with my car and am looking for a new direction




:mods if this is the wrong forum please redirect,i saw the forum for forced induction drive train but nothing for NA?

 

Do you have an Acura CL or a 350Z? Your sig has no mention of a 350Z...

 

i have a CL...im sure our two cars would respond in similar fashion ,and with the significant after market for the Z i hope to learn something...mods are
crank from honda oddessey stroking to 3.5liters,headers,intake,UD pulley,phenolic(sp?) intake spacer,P&P upper/lower intake/TB,160 tstat,fan switch,lw SSR comp 17"wheels,koni sp3,H&R springs,UniChip piggy back

 

Then I suggest you go to this thread:

https://my350z.com/forum/street/142713-350z-at-vs-2001-acura-cl-type-s.html

 

and why is that...

 

Well it looks like you've done alot to improve airflow IN but haven't touched the exhaust, is that right? I don't recognize anything in your sig about it but I don't know too much about whats being offered for the CL. I noticed a small difference when I added my catback and a pretty substantial difference after HF cats were on. Since our engines are kinda designed to make power in different spots, it's not easy to compare them. Still, I would get some better airflow going on with an aftermarket exhaust/cat setup.

 

i have been toying with that idea ,but for example a 1000$ cat back system yeild about 6-8 hp so hard pill to swallow you know what i mean...i also thought about a hi flow cat from magnaflow instead of straight test pipe,but one guy on my board did a random and lost hp/torque

 

I must say, you troll the drag forums a lot and your car has a lot more work done to it than 99% of CL-S's on the road. As long as I don't run into you I have nothing to worry about

 

Dom no offense man you have a quick auto Z, but look at his trap and look at yours. Although you guys would be very close down the 1/4, after that his top-end has you beat....

$1000 for a catback? Why dont you just have a custom exhaust made with 2.5" piping with a nice cheap magnaflow staright through muffler for prolly less than 1/2 of that?

Ever consider doing an electronic cut-out? Wanna keep your TQ? Launch and run 1st gear out like normal, then hit your cut-out and enjoy your top-end the rest of the way down the track...

 

Um, because they are both talking about 350Z auto and Acura CL type S auto... How more lucky can you get that the exact same two cars are talked about in another thread recently...

I figured you could contribute to the thread or ask questions...

Did I really have to explain that?

 

well yes ,because the thread is about a bone stockVs bone stock and it would be a hi jack to start asking about mods i think....i did however post a couple times in that thread before you pointed me to it...what im looking for really is the most maxed out 350 auto NA ...and see if theres anything they done or been successful with and maybe try that on mine...

 

The exhaust alone might only get you 6 hp but in conjunction with the other good breathing mods you've added I'm sure it will make more of a difference.

 

do the Acura ppl offer new gear ratios? the Z responds well to a taller final drive.....maybe the CL has this too?

 

not exactly ..being FWD the final is in the transmission...but i was researching and found the honda oddessey has a higher final drive and the honda ridgeline has a shorter 1-2-and especially 4th gear they are the same engine and the oddessey tranny is about identical,not sure on the ridgeline but i think so...so anyway i was thinking about that along with some kind of limited slip
